Asian stocks fluctuate prior to U.S. Federal policy meeting


(MENAFN– ecpulse)

Volatility dominated the Asian stocks today after a meeting of Japan`s central bank, who declined to add any fiscal policy due to the impact of applying sales tax rise, as markets turned its attention to the month of July to study the effect of prices on the market within three months.

On the other hand, the financial markets are neutral during today`s trading session waiting the outcome of the Feds meeting its vision for the U.S. economy and the level of economic recovery being witnessed currently.

Corporate earnings are still causing volatility for the Asian stocks which helped creating a state of instability in today’s trading.
